Because of decades of logging and rapid economic development in Greater Khingan Mountains, moose population had sharply declined, and the habitat had been seriously damaged. Moose is also extremely sensitive to climate change. With the global warming, moose population constantly shrunk back northward.

In order to protect and restore the moose population in Hanma and adjacent areas, the project has conducted in-depth research on moose. Based on the research results, the protection countermeasures were formulated: 1) Project personnel carried out patrol work on a regular basis every month; 2) Fight poaching; 3) Prevent wildfires; and 4) Use various ways and means to raise awareness on the importance of protecting and restoring moose population.
